Star Trek Movie Release Date - XMas 2008!

It's official the movie is not only being made, but will be released Christmas 2008! Earlier rumors about the movie focusing on Capitan Kirk's and Spock's early days at Starfleet Academy have been confirmed.

This from the BBC,

The latest feature, which has yet to be named, will tell of Kirk and Spock's first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first outer space mission.

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who worked with Abrams on Mission: Impossible III, have written the screenplay.

"If there's something I'm dying to see, it's the brilliance and optimism of Roddenberry's world brought back to the big screen," said Abrams.

"Alex and Bob wrote an amazing script that embraces and respects Trek canon but charts its own course."

I've been a fan of Star Trek all my life, and I can hardly wait for this movie to be released.
